which Lender is obligated to advance, including future advances, under the
terms of a Home Equity Conversion Loan Agreement dated the same date as
this Security Instrument ("Loan Agreement"). The agreement to repay is
evidenced by Borrower's Note dated the same date as this Security
Instrument ("Note"). This Security Instrument secures to Lender: (a)
the repayment of the debt evidenced by the Note, with interest, and all
renewals, extensions and modifications of the Note, up to a maximum
principal amount of Dollars (U.S. $ ); (b) the payment of
all other sums, with interest, advanced under paragraph 5 to protect the
security of this Security Instrument or otherwise due under the terms of
this Security Instrument; and (c) the performance of Borrower's covenants
and agreements under this Security Instrument and the Note. For this
purpose, Borrower does hereby mortgage, warrant, grant and convey to
Lender, with power of sale, the following described property located in
County, Michigan:
which has the address of ,
[Street] [City]
[State] [Zip Code]
("Property Address")
TOGETHER WITH all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the
property, and all easements, rights, appurtenances, and fixtures now or
hereafter a part of the property. All replacements and additions shall
also be covered by this Security Instrument. All of the foregoing is
referred to in this Security Instrument as the "Property."
BORROWER COVENANTS that Borrower is lawfully seised of the estate
hereby conveyed and has the right to mortgage, grant and convey the
Property and that the Property is unencumbered. Borrower warrants and will
defend generally the title to the Property against all claims and demands,
subject to any encumbrances of record.
THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT combines uniform covenants for national use
and non-uniform covenants with limited variations by jurisdiction to
constitute a uniform security instrument covering real property.
UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as follows:
1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall pay when due
the principal of, and interest on, the debt evidenced by the Note.
2. Payment of Property Charges. Borrower shall pay all property
charges consisting of taxes, ground rents, flood and hazard insurance
premiums, and special assessments in a timely manner, and shall provide
evidence of payment to Lender, unless Lender pays property charges by
withholding funds from monthly payments due to the Borrower or by charging
such payments to a line of credit as provided for in the Loan Agreement.
3. Fire, Flood and Other Hazard Insurance. Borrower shall insure all
improvements on the Property, whether now in existence or subsequently
erected, against any hazards, casualties, and contingencies, including
fire. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts, to the extent and
for the periods required by Lender or the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development ("Secretary"). Borrower shall also insure all improvements on
the Property, whether now in existence or subsequently erected, against
loss by floods to the extent required by the Secretary. All insurance
shall be carried with companies approved by Lender. The insurance policies
and any renewals shall be held by Lender and shall include loss payable
clauses in favor of, and in a form acceptable to, Lender.
In the event of loss, Borrower shall give Lender immediate notice by
mail. Lender may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make
payment for such loss to Lender instead of to Borrower and Lender jointly.
Insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the damaged
Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and
Lender's security is not lessened. If the restoration or repair is not
economically feasible or Lender's security would be lessened, the insurance
proceeds shall be applied first to the reduction of any indebtedness under
a Second Note and Second Security Instrument held by the Secretary on the
Property and then to the reduction of the indebtedness under the Note and
this Security Instrument. Any excess insurance proceeds over an amount
required to pay all outstanding indebtedness under the Note and this
Security Instrument shall be paid to the entity legally entitled thereto.
In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or other
transfer of title to the Property that extinguishes the indebtedness, all
right; title and interest of Borrower in and to insurance policies in force
shall pass to the purchaser.
4. Occupancy, Preservation, Maintenance and Protection of the
Property; Borrower's Loan Application; Leaseholds. Borrower shall occupy,
establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence after the
execution of this Security Instrument and Borrower (or at least one
Borrower, if initially more than one person are Borrowers) shall continue
to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for the term of
the Security Instrument. "Principal residence" shall have the same meaning
as in the Loan Agreement
Borrower shall not commit waste or destroy, damage or substantially
change the Property or allow the Property to deteriorate, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. Borrower shall also be in default if Borrower, during
the loan application process, gave materially false or inaccurate
information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with any
material information) in connection with the
loan evidenced by the Note, including, but not limited to, representations
concerning Borrower's occupancy of the Property as a principal residence.
If this Security Instrument is on a leasehold, Borrower shall comply with
the provisions of the lease. If Borrower acquires fee title to the
Property, the leasehold and fee title shall not be merged unless Lender
agrees to the merger in writing.
5. Charges to Borrower and Protection of Lender's Rights in the
Property. Borrower shall pay all governmental or municipal charges, fines
and impositions that are not included in Paragraph 2. Borrower shall pay
these obligations on time directly to the entity which is owed the payment.
If failure to pay would adversely affect Lender's interest in the Property,
upon Lender's request Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender receipts
evidencing these payments. Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien
which has priority over this Security Instrument in the manner provided in
Paragraph 12(c).
If Borrower fails to make these payments or the property charges
required by Paragraph 2, or fails to perform any other covenants and
agreements contained in this Security Instrument, or there is a legal
proceeding that may significantly affect Lender's rights in the Property
(such as a proceeding in bankruptcy, for condemnation or to enforce laws or
regulations), then Lender may do and pay whatever is necessary to protect
the value of the Property and Lender's rights in the Property, including
payment of taxes, hazard insurance and other items mentioned in Paragraph
2.
To protect Lender's security in the Property, Lender shall advance and
charge to Borrower all amounts due to the Secretary for the Mortgage
Insurance Premium as defined in the Loan Agreement as well as all sums due
to the loan servicer for servicing activities as defined in the Loan
Agreement. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Paragraph shall
become an additional debt of Borrower as provided for in the Loan Agreement
and shall be secured by this Security Instrument.
6. Inspection. Lender or its agent may enter on, inspect or make
appraisals of the Property in a reasonable manner and at reasonable times
provided that Lender shall give the Borrower notice prior to any inspection
or appraisal specifying a purpose for the inspection or appraisal which
must be related to Lender's interest in the Property. If the Property is
vacant or abandoned or the loan is in default, Lender may take reasonable
action to protect and preserve such vacant or abandoned Property without
notice to the Borrower.
7. Condemnation. The proceeds of any award or claim for damages,
direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation, or other
taking of any part of the Property, or for conveyance in place of
condemnation shall be paid to Lender. The proceeds shall be applied first
to the reduction of any indebtedness under a Second Note and Second
Security Instrument held by the Secretary on the Property, and then to the
reduction of the indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument.
Any excess proceeds over an amount required to pay all outstanding
indebtedness under the Note and this Security Instrument shall be paid to
the entity legally entitled thereto.
8. Fees. Lender may collect fees and charges authorized by the
Secretary.
9.Grounds for Acceleration of Debt.
(a) Due and Payable. Lender may require immediate payment
in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument if:
(i) A Borrower dies and the Property is not the
principal residence of at least one surviving Borrower;
or
(ii) All of a Borrower's title in the Property (or his
or her beneficial interest in a trust owning all or
part of the Property) is sold or otherwise transferred
and no other Borrower retains title to the Property in
fee simple or retains a leasehold under a lease for
less than 99 years which is renewable or a lease having
a remaining period of not less than 50 years beyond the
date of the 100th birthday of the youngest Borrower (or
retaining a beneficial interest in a trust with such an
interest in the Property).
(b) Due and Payable with Secretary Approval. Lender may
require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by
this Security Instrument, upon approval of the Secretary,
if:
(i) The Property ceases to be the principal residence
of a Borrower for reasons other than death and the
Property is not the principal residence of at least one
other Borrower; or
(ii) For a period of longer than 12 consecutive
months, a Borrower fails to occupy the Property because
of physical or mental illness and the Property is not
the principal residence of at least one other Borrower;
or
(iii) An obligation of the Borrower under this
Security Instrument is not performed.
(c) Notice to Lender. Borrower shall notify Lender
whenever any of the events listed in this Paragraph 9
(a)(ii) and (b) occur.
(d) Notice to Secretary and Borrower. Lender shall notify
the Secretary and Borrower whenever the loan becomes due and
payable under Paragraph 9 (a)(ii) and (b). Lender shall not
have the right to commence foreclosure until Borrower has
had 30 days after notice to either:
(i) Correct the matter which resulted in the Security
Instrument coming due and payable; or
(ii) Pay the balance in full; or
(iii) Sell the Property for the lesser of the balance
or 95% of the appraised value and apply the net
proceeds of the sale toward the balance; or
(iv) Provide the Lender with a deed in lieu of
foreclosure.
(e) Trusts. Conveyance of a Borrower's interest in the
Property to a trust which meets the requirements of the
Secretary, or conveyance of a trust's interests in the
Property to a Borrower, shall not be considered a conveyance
for purposes of this Paragraph 9. A trust shall not be
considered an occupant or be considered as having a
principal residence for purposes of this Paragraph 9.
(f) Mortgage Not Insured. [Optional] Borrower agrees that
should this Security Instrument and the Note not be eligible
for insurance under the National Housing Act within /1 from
the date hereof, Lender may, at its option, require
immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this
Security Instrument. A written statement of any authorized
agent of the Secretary dated subsequent to /1 from the
date hereof, declining to insure this Security Instrument
and the Note, shall be deemed conclusive proof of such
ineligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this option
may not be exercised by Lender when the unavailability of
insurance is solely due to Lender's failure to remit a
mortgage insurance premium to the Secretary.
10. No Deficiency Judgments. Borrower shall have no personal
liability for payment of the debt secured by this Security Instrument.
Lender may enforce the debt only through sale of the Property. Lender shall
not be permitted to obtain a deficiency judgment against Borrower if the
Security Instrument is foreclosed. If this Security Instrument is assigned
to the Secretary upon demand by the Secretary, Borrower shall not be liable
for any difference between the mortgage insurance benefits paid to Lender
and the outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, owed by
Borrower at the time of the assignment.
11. Reinstatement. Borrower has a right to be reinstated if Lender
has required immediate payment in full. This right applies even after
foreclosure proceedings are instituted. To reinstate this Security
Instrument, Borrower shall correct the condition which resulted in the
requirement for immediate payment in full. Foreclosure costs and
reasonable and customary attorney's fees and expenses properly associated
with the foreclosure proceeding shall be added to the principal balance.
Upon reinstatement by Borrower, this Security Instrument and the
obligations that it secures shall remain in effect as if Lender had not
required immediate payment in full. However, Lender is not required to
permit reinstatement if: (i) Lender has accepted reinstatement after the
commencement of foreclosure proceedings within two years immediately
preceding the commencement of a current foreclosure proceeding, (ii)
reinstatement will preclude foreclosure on different grounds in the future,
or (iii) reinstatement will adversely affect the priority of the Security
Instrument.
12.Lien Status.
(a)Modification.
Borrower agrees to extend this Security
Instrument in accordance with this Paragraph 12(a). If Lender determines
that the original lien status of the Security Instrument is jeopardized under
state law (including but not limited to situations where the amount secured by
the Security Instrument equals or exceeds the maximum principal amount
stated or the maximum period under which loan advances retain the same lien
priority initially granted to loan advances has expired) and state law
permits the original lien status to be maintained for future loan advances
through the execution and recordation of one or more documents, then Lender
shall obtain title evidence at Borrower's expense. If the title evidence
indicates that the property is not encumbered by any liens (except this
Security Instrument, the Second Security Instrument described in Paragraph
13(a) and any subordinate liens that the Lender determines will also be
subordinate to any future loan advances), Lender shall request the Borrower
to execute any documents necessary to protect the lien status of future
loan advances. Borrower
____________________________
1/ Lenders are authorized, but not required, to add Paragraph 9(f) to the
first security instrument. If used, a period may be inserted in the two
blanks expressed either in number of days or months, which is not shorter
than 60 days and not longer than 8 months.
agrees to execute such documents. If state law does not
permit the original lien status to be extended to future
loan advances, Borrower will be deemed to have failed to
have performed an obligation under this Security Instrument.
(b)Tax Deferral Programs.
Borrower shall not participate in a real estate tax deferral
program, if any liens created by the tax deferral are not
subordinate to this Security Instrument.
(c)Prior Liens.
Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien
which has priority over this Security Instrument unless Borrower: (a)
agrees in writing to the payment of the obligation secured
by the lien in a manner acceptable to Lender; (b) contests
in good faith the lien by, or defends against enforcement of
the lien in, legal proceedings which in the Lender's opinion
operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien or forfeiture
of any part of the Property; or (c) secures from the holder
of the lien an agreement satisfactory to Lender
subordinating the lien to all amounts secured by this
Security Instrument. If Lender determines that any part of
the Property is subject to a lien which may attain priority
over this Security Instrument, Lender may give Borrower a
notice identifying the lien. Borrower shall satisfy the lien
or take one more of the actions set forth above within 10
days of the giving of notice.
13.Relationship to Second Security Instrument.
(a) Second Security Instrument. In order to secure
payments which the Secretary may make to or on behalf of
Borrower pursuant to Section 255(i)(1)(A) of the National
Housing Act and the Loan Agreement, the Secretary has
required Borrower to execute a Second Note and a Second
Security Instrument on the Property.
(b) Relationship of First and Second Security Instruments.
Payments made by the Secretary shall not be included in the
debt under the Note unless:
(i) This Security Instrument is assigned to the
Secretary; or
(ii) The Secretary accepts reimbursement by the Lender
for all payments made by the Secretary.
If the circumstances described in (i) or (ii)
occur, then all payments by the Secretary, including interest on
the payments, but excluding late charges paid by the
Secretary, shall be included in the debt under the Note.
(c) Effect on Borrower. Where there is no assignment or
reimbursement as described in (b)(i) or (ii) and the
Secretary makes payments to Borrower, then Borrower shall
not:
(i) Be required to pay amounts owed under the Note, or
pay any rents and revenues of the Property under
Paragraph 19 to Lender or a receiver of the Property,
until the Secretary has required payment in full of all
outstanding principal and accrued interest under the
Second Note; or
(ii) Be obligated to pay interest or shared
appreciation under the Note at any time, whether
accrued before or after the payments by the Secretary,
and whether or not accrued interest has been included
in the principal balance under the Note.
(d) No Duty of the Secretary. The Secretary has no duty to
Lender to enforce covenants of the Second Security
Instrument or to take actions to preserve the value of the
Property, even though Lender may be unable to collect
amounts owed under the Note because of restrictions in this
Paragraph 13.
14. Forbearance by Lender Not a Waiver. Any forbearance by Lender in
exercising any right or remedy shall not be a waiver of or preclude the
exercise of any right or remedy.
15. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability. The
covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument shall bind and benefit
the successors and assigns of Lender. Borrower may not assign any rights
or obligations under this Security Instrument or under the Note, except to
a trust that meets the requirements of the Secretary. Borrower's covenants
and agreements shall be joint and several.
16. Notices. Any notice to Borrower provided for in this Security
Instrument shall be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class
mail unless applicable law requires use of another method. The notice
shall be directed to the Property Address or any other address all
Borrowers jointly designate. Any notice to Lender shall be given by first
class mail to Lender's address stated herein or any address Lender
designates by notice to Borrower. Any notice provided for in this Security
Instrument shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower or Lender when
given as provided in this Paragraph 16.
17. Governing Law; Severability. This Security Instrument shall be
governed by Federal law and the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Property is located. In the event that any provision or clause of this
Security Instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such
conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Security Instrument or
the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provision. To
this end the provisions of this Security Instrument and the Note are
declared to be severable.
18. Borrower's Copy. Borrower shall be given one conformed copy of
the Note and the Security Instrument.
NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as
follows:
19. Assignment of Rents. [Use this language unless prohibited by
state law.] Borrower unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all
the rents and revenues of the Property. Borrower authorizes Lender or
Lender's agents to collect the rents and revenues and hereby directs each
tenant of the Property to pay the rents to Lender or Lender's agents.
However, prior to Lender's notice to Borrower of Borrower's breach of any
covenant or agreement in the Security Instrument, Borrower shall collect
and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the
benefit of Lender and Borrower. This assignment of rents constitutes an
absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.
If Lender gives notice of breach to Borrower: (a) all rents received
by Borrower shall be held by Borrower as trustee for benefit of Lender
only, to be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument; (b)
Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive all of the rents of the
Property; and (c) each tenant of the Property shall pay all rents due and
unpaid to Lender or Lender's agent on Lender's written demand to the
tenant.
Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of the rents and has
not and will not perform any act that would prevent Lender from exercising
its rights under this Paragraph 19.
Lender shall not be required to enter upon, take control of or
maintain the Property before or after giving notice of breach to Borrower.
However, Lender or a judicially appointed receiver may do so at any time
there is a breach. Any application of rents shall not cure or waive any
default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender. This assignment
of rents of the Property shall terminate when the debt secured by this
Security Instrument is paid in full.
20. Foreclosure Procedure. [For illustration only. Needs state
adaptation as provided in the instructions attached.] If Lender requires
immediate payment in full under Paragraph 9, Lender may invoke the power of
sale and any other remedies provided in this Paragraph 20, including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and costs of title evidence.
If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender shall give notice of sale
to Borrower in the manner provided in Paragraph 16. Lender shall publish
and post the notice of sale, and the Property shall be sold in the manner
prescribed by applicable law. Lender or its designee may purchase the
Property at any sale. The proceeds of the sale shall be applied in the
following order: (a) to all expenses of the sale, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorney's fees; (b) to all sums secured by this
Security Instrument, and (c) any excess to the person or persons legally
entitled to it.
[Add any state-specific provisions in accordance with the instructions
attached and HUD Handbook 4165.1 REV-1, Chapter 4]
[Number as final paragraph.] Riders to this Security Instrument. If
one or more riders are executed by Borrower and recorded together with this
Security Instrument, the covenants of each such rider shall be incorporated
into and shall amend and supplement the covenants and agreements of this
Security Instrument as if the rider(s) were a part of this Security
Instrument. [Check applicable box(es)].
[ ] Condominium Rider [ ] Planned Unit Development Rider
[ ] Shared Appreciation Rider [ ] Other [Specify]
BY SIGNING BELOW, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms contained
in this Security Instrument and in any rider(s) executed by Borrower and
recorded with it.

Instructions for Model Mortgage Form (Home Equity Conversion)
HUD requires that a security instrument follow the form and content of the
approved FNMA/FHLMC security instrument for the jurisdiction, except where
HUD has determined that differences are needed to reflect HUD policy and
practice. The following explains those differences. Additional
instructions are found in Chapter 4, HUD Handbook 4165.1 and Chapter 6, HUD
Handbook 4235.1.
Language Preceding Uniform Covenants
Use FNMA/FHLMC language but:
a.Add a box for the FHA Case No. as shown on the Model Form.
b. For a Mortgage, delete the language beginning with "THIS MORTGAGE"
or "THIS DEED OF TRUST" through "covenants and agreements under this
Security Instrument and Note." Substitute the language shown on the
Model Form. The phrase "up to a maximum principal amount of Dollars
(U.S. $ )" should be omitted in jurisdictions where there is no
legal requirement to state the maximum principal amount in a mortgage
or deed of trust. If the phrase is used, the blank should be
completed with an amount equal to or greater than 150% of the maximum
claim amount.
c. For a Deed of Trust, follow the instructions in "b" above, except
that the first three sentences of the Model Form must be further
revised to read as follows:
This DEED OF TRUST ("Security Instrument") is made on ,
19 . The grantor [or trustor] is ("Borrower").
The trustee is ("Trustee"). The beneficiary is ,
which is organized and existing under the laws of , and
whose address is ("Lender").
d. For Colorado deeds of trust, Georgia security deeds and Louisiana
mortgages, the FNMA/FHLMC forms should be consulted for guidance
regarding additional adaptation of the initial language of the
Security Instrument, including language describing a note for
Louisiana.
e. For Maine and New York in which FNMA and FHLMC use "plain English"
forms, the format and language should be based on FNMA/FHLMC forms for
other states provided that the language is in conformity with
applicable law.
The Model Form uses the FNMA/FHLMC language for Michigan as an example.
The form may include variations to the standard language that have been
approved by FNMA and/or FHLMC.
Uniform Covenants
The form should designate the paragraphs preceding Paragraph 20 on
foreclosure procedures as "Uniform Covenants". The text of these
paragraphs must be used as presented in the Model Form without any change.
FNMA/FHLMC language may not be substituted. If change is needed to make
requirements of state or local law or practice, written approval from HUD
is needed before the change is made.
Non-Uniform Covenants
The form should designate the paragraphs beginning with Paragraph 19 on
assignment of rents as "Non-Uniform Covenants".
a. The FNMA/FHLMC paragraph on foreclosure procedures will need
adaptation to reflect HUD policy. The Model Form contains an
adaptation of the FNMA/FHLMC language for Michigan as an example.
Following the phrase "If Lender requires immediate payment in full
under Paragraph 9" as shown in Paragraph 20 of the Model Form, the
mortgage should use the foreclosure procedures paragraph of the
current approved FNMA/FHLMC form (including language regarding payment
of costs such as attorney's fees) as a guide with any necessary
adaptation to conform to these instructions. Language in the
FNMA/FHLMC paragraph regarding notice and acceleration should be
omitted. For Maine and New York, Lenders should use foreclosure
language based on these instructions and other FNMA/FHLMC forms that
are not "plain English" forms provided that the language will
authorize foreclosure in conformity with applicable law. The mortgage
must include the Lender's right to a public sale of the Property,
including a power of sale if legally permissible in the jurisdiction
in which the property is located even if mortgages are usually
foreclosed through a judicial proceeding.
b. The paragraphs following Paragraph 20 should contain provisions
required to adapt the mortgage to the laws and practices of the
particular jurisdiction in which the Property is located. The text of
these paragraphs should be the same as the FNMA/FHLMC non-uniform
covenants for the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
Changes to the FNMA/FHLMC paragraphs and additional material may be
included if needed to conform to requirements of state law or
practice. The paragraph entitled "Riders to this Security Instrument"
should be used as shown in the Model Form instead of as shown in the
FNMA/FHLMC forms.
c. Any special language or notices required by applicable law should
appear following the non-uniform covenants using the FNMA/FHLMC form
as a guide.
Signatures, etc.
Use the FNMA/FHLMC format at the end of the mortgage except that:
a. Witness lines may be omitted if state and local law does not
require witnesses for mortgages.
b. HUD does not require the Borrower's social security number to
appear on the mortgage.
